"I go half way round the world and back thinking I’d made some
sort of discovery and come back to find the same damn lies, the
same white lies, the same black lies." _x000D_ Alvin and Errol
can’t picture much of a future for themselves. They’re young,
Black and living in England in the 1980s, with an entire country
and political system set against them. Instead they focus firmly on
their past – the sunny Caribbean and heroic father they left
behind when their mother brought them to England twenty years ago.
_x000D_ But when Alvin returns home from his grandfather’s
funeral a new version of their past emerges, and the two brothers
are caught in a desperate struggle to unearth the truth about their
existence. _x000D_ Powerful and compelling, Strange Fruit by Caryl
Phillips (winner of the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize) is the story
of a family caught between two cultures, and the uncrossable no
man’s land that can come between parents and their children.
